THE DULUTH & DENVER.

bonds to be Voted IN Pipestone County
-Arriva of Graders at sioux Falls.
The Pipestone Republican contains a
long article which indicates that the
Duluth & Denver has asked of P,pestone
county $50. 900 in bonds in aid OF that
railroad. The Republican in the course
OF its remarks says:
The final survey for the division of
the Duluth railroad from Wilmar to
Sioux Falls, having been completed, it
will be but q short time now until the
question of voting a bonus along the
proposed line will come up for the JON
sideration of the voters of this and the
other counties through which the route
runs.

Some seem to think that inasmuch as
the company has gone to the expense
and labor of keeping a surveying party
IN the field all through the past severe
winter, at an expense of between So, 600
and $4,000, the lne will be built whether
this county votes bonds or not. This is
q fatal mistake; for suppose now that
the voters of Lyons and Yellow Medicine
counties think the same way What if
they and the voters of this county, fail
to vote the bonus askedp Then is it
not possible. nay, it is not quite proba-
BILE that the line may pass away to the
east Of this and the other two counties
named. Take q map, draw a line direct
from Willmar TO Sioux Falls, or to
Yankton, and then notice how easily an
air line can be obtained, and leave these
counties out. Why, but for making
Sioux Falls the line can go away beyond
this county and reach Yankton; anu
even to make Sioux Falls it needs but
barely touch the south east corner OF
Plpestone county.
Upon the interesting subject of the
Dcluth and Denver line a Sioux Falls
special has this to say:
Contractor Winston's for mar arrived
here tonight and engaged quarters for
a large force OF railroad grauers, which he
says will arrive tomorrow morning fully
equipped for commencing grading at
once. 1t is not known whether they are
to go to work on the extension of the
Burlington road or to begin work at this
point on tine Duluth road. The chief
engineers of the latter road reached here
tonight, having completed their survey

thing is certain, this point is to be the
center OF @ large amount of railroad
work this summer, and the fact is hav-
ing a very decided effect on real estate
and all branches of business.
The following from the Sioux Falls
Press pertains to the same subject:
Isaac Murphy . Eans OF graders con-
sisting of twenty-five men and seven
teen teaEas came in from Chatfield,
Mimi, yesterday afternoon Two cars
carrying the horses, wagons and tools
was attached to the 4 .. m. passenger
train on the Southern Minnesota.
They will go to work for Mr.. Winston
on the Burlington surfacing and then
on the Willmar and Sioux Falls railroad
grade. Mr.. Murphy is An old Sioux
Falls man, and has been employing his
gang of men in various ways through
Minnesota.
So the work goes gloriously on and
under the active management ssof the
Manitoba the road will rapidly materia-
lie. We can only await the march Of
events and in the meantime prepare
ourselves for the coming phenomenal
growth of our city.
